Our exclusive WinGuard® products combine heavy-duty window and door frames with impact-resistant laminated glass to ensure flying debris does not enter your home in the event of a major storm. A special silicone glazing process is used to keep the glass from breaking away from its frame. Although wind-borne debris may crack the glass on impact, the interlayer keeps the overall window intact, preventing destructive wind from entering your home. WinGuard with vinyl frames meets or exceeds International Building Code standards for air/water/structural and small and large missile impact protection and has Florida State Product Approval. WinGuard with aluminum frames has Miami-Dade Approvals to meet Florida’s most stringent code requirements for wind-borne debris protection and Florida State Product Approvals.

What does all of this mean to you and your home? If you’re looking for hurricane protection, WinGuard can withstand impacts from flying debris, followed by hurricane-force winds and the glass will still remain in its frame.

Now there’s no need for inconvenient, unsightly panel, accordion or rolldown shutters, plywood or other hurricane protection devices. Even when you’re away, WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors help guard your home effortlessly against hurricanes, improve energy efficiency and so much more.

Benefits

More Than Just Hurricane Protection

PGT’s complete line of WinGuard® Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors is engineered to meet hurricanes head on. What does this mean to you and your home? WinGuard can withstand impacts from flying debris, followed by hurricane-force winds and the glass will still remain in its frame. It’s effortless hurricane protection for your home.

But it’s more than just hurricane protection. WinGuard offers the most complete line of residential impact-resistant windows and doors. This means you can purchase all of your product needs under one brand and maintain the integrity of the design. WinGuard also reduces noise, fading caused by sun exposure, energy costs and helps provide year-round security against thieves and intruders.

Like Sunscreen for Your Home

By filtering out 99% of UV rays, WinGuard helps shield your furniture, carpet, artwork and window treatments from the effects of fading caused by the sun. We also offer a variety of high-performance glass options that feature tints and Low-E coatings that help reduce solar heat gain, increase comfort and help you better manage energy costs.

Safe and Sound

The laminated glass in PGT WinGuard Impact-Resistant Windows and Doors absorbs sound rather than transmitting it, which helps to keep the world and its disruptions outside where they belong. In fact, the same type of glass is often used in airports and recording studios to significantly reduce ambient noise. The use of laminated instead of monolithic glass can result in an additional perceived loudness reduction of approximately 30% for a standard mixture of aircraft, railroad and vehicular traffic noise.

Protection Beyond Mother Nature

Breaking a window is the most common means of entry for an intruder. But with WinGuard, the same effortless protection that guards against hurricane damage also deters intruders. While normal windows shatter easily upon contact, the durability of WinGuard keeps windows in one piece. Whether it be a major storm or an attempted break in, WinGuard helps keep you, your family and your home safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Wasn't worth the expense / found flaw in glassRenovating my home, unfortunately live in SoFla and was forced to buy impact windows. hoped there would be some energy savings, electric bill has increased. Also, when windows were installed windows and doors I purchased were caked in glue, which took forever to clean (and still finding specks a year later)
In December I was cleaning the windows, about 6 months after installation, an noticed a "freckle" within the glass. I contacted the installer/PGT Rep about issue, still haven't heard back from him or PGT about resolution.

ISLAND WINDOWSNot happy with this product. We made it very clear to the vendor that the widows were being installed on our island home in the Bahamas. They have been installed for less than two years and the springs holding in the screens are totally rusted out and the mechanisms are rusting badly and the crank assemblies are beginning to pit. Contacting the vendor was a waste of time, as they refused to return our calls once we told them the problem - Do not install these windows near the ocean!

Just installed on my patio.I just installed nine casement windows on my patio and I can't say enough about the great look and quality of the product. Each window was a slightly different size and PGT assembled each one perfectly. I now am ordering more custom sizes for the top of those and this will completely enclose my patio and make it hurricane ready. Very happy with all their products.

Awesome!The windows are beautiful and function perfectly with the added safety of impact glass. Best part were the installers - Stevens & Sons Glass. They were quick, clean and did a perfect install.

Quality Not As ExpectedWe went with PGT Aluminum Casement and Architectural windows and French doors
when we built our house ((almost 7 years ago and paid significant upgraded window price )because of your reputation for a great quality product and warranty (not planning on ever needing the warranty because of your great reputation)). Our windows looked great and every loved them and asked what brand we had, and we told them (we were proud to say PGT). A lot of neighbors liked what they saw they were going to put them in in when they had to replace their cheap builder basics.
We were first very disappointed that our windows did not stop the UV rays from discoloring many things in our house (could be builder not telling us) but then being told nothing we could do so we lived with it.
Then we had one casement that the seal between the 2 panes of glass had come undone and got foggy, had that replaced and just paid labor to put complete window from PGT onto cranks on window.
We Now have several architectural windows that show significant discoloration in between the panes, and we are embarrassed when people ask what is outside on your window?, we tell them it is inside the panes.
We are writing this today because we wanted everything clean for relatives coming into town and thought the windows were dirty outside, that was not the case after cleaning them we found out there is nothing we can do it is in between the panes. and it still looks dirty. We have a number of windows that are discolored (cloudy) and need to be replaced. We are very disappointed that the warranty is very misleading.
Right now I love the quality of the window frame and style but the quality of the insulated tinted glass is embarrassing.
We would love to be able and update this review because it looks beautiful but one would not think they would have to replace such a good quality window and doors so soon.

Solid Windows but poor silicon finishingWindows look great and are very solid but upon close inspection the excess clear silicone squeezed out when parts are pasted on is disappointing. I have the colonial frames on 3 windows and the finishing is very poor, silicone everywhere and parts not exactly flush. Some of the colonial frames are to short some are too long and squeezed in, glad i have shutters to hide the finishing. For the price paid I didn't expect so many pasted on parts. Also my contractor spent 6 months trying to figure out if we could obtain a sliding screen for a small sliding window to no avail. I can't open a window in South Florida without a screen, to many bugs.

Disappointing trim assemblyAll 18 windows and French Doors in our home are PGT. We decided to install FD750 at the home entry due to the hidden hinges and wood-like finish. It is a beautiful door but after door was installed I noticed the trim around the glass installed at factory was poorly cut. Only one of the 45 degree angles was correct and is even loose at one end. Not sure how this passed quality control inspection as you can even see the unpainted metal ends. I requested the installer, Atlantic Windows in Miami to take pictures and make formal complaint. The installer did mention seeing this problem in several previous FD750 installations. Let's see how fast PGT responds.
